Posted by and only 8 GB VRAM

Quotethe Steam Machine does not allow for processor or graphics card upgrades, although RAM upgrades are possible.
Correct, and the Steam Machine only has 8 GB VRAM GPU that can not be upgraded. Dave2D, amongst others, complained about it in his Steam Machine review. 8 GB VRAM becoming an issue was first pointed out by Hardware Unboxed 4-5 years ago.. Since then, the situation only got worse. VALVE should know better and not offering 8 GB VRAM. Kinda evil offering such a low VRAM gaming device.

Attention, a 9060 XT exists in a 8 or 16 GB VRAM configuration.

... RAM can not be upgraded ...

I suggest you review this assertion. There have been tear downs that show a free RAM slot as Valve could not secure 2 x 8GB sticks for dual channel memory so pivoted at the last minute to 1 x 16GB.

The Steam Machine will soon be available for pre-order starting at $1,049. This means that the SteamOS PC is not only significantly more expensive than the Sony PlayStation 5, but comparably fast gaming PCs are already available at much lower prices.
